News: Johnson scored eight points (4-8 FG) with seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 20 minutes Saturday, returning to the starting lineup after a one-game demotion.

Impact: Dwane Casey's are not consistent enough to recommend Johnson for most standard fantasy leagues, as he has averaged just 26 minutes a game this season, and 24 in his last six games. Even in those minutes, his 6.8 points and 6.2 rebounds in his last six just don't move the fantasy needle enough to warrant ownership, despite his status as a starter once again.

News: Johnson moved to the bench for Friday's game against the Warriors but managed to record eight points, four rebounds, and three assists during 22 minutes of action.

Impact: Johnson was demoted Friday, although Patrick Patterson, who moved into the starting lineup, also saw 22 minutes on the court Friday. It's still unclear who will be the starter moving forward but both players have a good chance of seeing relatively the same amount of time on the court regardless.

News: Johnson will move to the bench for Friday's game against the Warriors.

Impact: Johnson will give way to Patrick Patterson on Friday, although it's still unclear if this will be a permanent change moving forward. Either way, Patterson has a good chance of seeing more time on the court Friday than Johnson.

Rotowire: Feb 21 / 9:53p ET

News: Johnson missed both of his field goal attempts, finishing scoreless with seven rebounds and two steals in just 19 minutes Saturday.

Impact: Johnson was also dealing with foul trouble, along with poor play, and that limited his minutes. Dwane Casey has shown a proclivity to limit the minutes of all of his big men, so Johnson's fantasy value will be hit or miss, but in general, he's a guy who can provide value in most formats. All of numbers, bar his 59 percent shooting from the field, have regressed from last season, though.

Rotowire: Feb 8 / 7:00p ET

News: Johnson scored 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-4 FT) with eight rebounds, a steal and a block in 26 minutes during Sunday's win over the Spurs.

Impact: When he's on his game, Johnson's capable of providing very useful fantasy numbers, but he hasn't been able to string together good performances with any kind of consistency this season. In most leagues, he's better left on your waiver wire watch list in case he does heat up for more than a couple of games at a time.
